      Hello,

      I have setup Email reports package to send on a daily basis a HDD health reports ( one short and one more detailed).
      When I test the report it works ok, I receive the email with the output of the command, but when the task it's scheduled , I receive an empty report by email.

      Sample 1 of the email received :

      _This is a periodic report from your firewall, pfsense01.xyz.nnn

      Current report: Hard Disk Status

      Command output: HDD HEALTH (smartctl -H /dev/ad6)_

      Sample 2:

      _This is a periodic report from your firewall, pfsense01.xyz.nnn

      Current report: hdd info health

      Command output: smartctl (smartctl -d ata -a /dev/ad6)_


      PfSense Version : 2.1.5-RELEASE (i386)
      Email reports Installed: latest version as of December 13th

      Any advice will be apreciated!

      BR,
      Adrian

        Use the full path to commands. The report doesn't use the search path. So those should be running /usr/local/sbin/smartctl
